The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) Board of Directors voted to approve the State Fair of Texas specialty license plate. Starting in early 2025, Texans will be able to purchase the custom-designed plates. Proceeds will directly benefit Texas youth through the Big Tex Scholarship Program.

The Big Tex Scholarship Program provides millions of dollars in scholarships each year to graduating high school seniors from across the state of Texas.

Beneficiaries include students who have participated in competitive youth livestock events at the State Fair, graduating seniors from six Dallas ISD high schools near Fair Park, and longtime seasonal employees of the State Fair of Texas or their dependents.
